Abstract: The National Park Service Organic Act, 54 U.S.C. 100101(a) et seq., requires that the NPS preserve national parks for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. In order to monitor resources and bear management in areas managed by the National Park Service and to enhance the safety of future visitors, we are requesting to revise OMB Control Number: 1024–0281 to include a new system-wide form for bear sightings and encounters by visitors in National Parks. Bear sighting data provide park managers with important information used to determine bear movements, habitat use, and species distribution. This information is important for backcountry management and planning, field research planning, and educational outreach for visitors. Bear-human interaction data is vital to understanding bear responses to people, detecting changes in bear behavior, and identifying areas of high bear-human conflict. Obtaining immediate information on bear-human conflicts allows managers to respond promptly to mitigate further conflicts. Proactive mitigation includes notifying other backcountry users, issuing advisories or recommendations, or issuing closures to prevent further conflicts and maintain public safety. Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve currently uses Form 10– 405 ‘‘Tatshenshini—Alsek River Bear Report and Form 10–406 ‘‘Bear Information Management Report’’ to record bear sightings when a bear enters a camp, approaches the group, damages gear, obtains food, and/or acts in an aggressive or threatening manner towards the group. We are requesting to add a new system-wide form to this collection. Proposed form 10–407 ‘‘National Park Service Bear Sighting and Encounter Reports’’ will be available in any areas managed by the National Park Service where bear sightings may occur. Title of Collection: National Park Service Bear Sighting and Encounter Reports. OMB Control Number: 1024–0281. Form Number: 10–405, ‘‘Tatshenshini—Alsek River Bear Report,’’ 10–406, ‘‘Bear Information Management Report’’, and 10–407 ‘‘National Park Service Bear Sighting and Encounter Reports.’’ PO 00000 Frm 00062 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5261 Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Description of Respondents: General Public. Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 478. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 478. Estimated Completion Time per Response: Average 5 minutes. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 54 hours. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Frequency of Collection: On occasion. Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Phadrea Ponds, Information Collection Clearance Officer, National Park Service.
